Mr.. J, w.JoNEs.
a Statement From An Honorable Man
That Puts Mr.. w. o. Bradley in Bad
Light,

ITO the Editor of the Courier Journal
From the Courier-Journal of the
18th instant:
LONDON, KY, July 14-Your re-
port of Mr.. Bradley's statement at
Grayson yesterday, in which he is
reported as giving me as his author
ity for the charge that Gov. Knott
wrote Gen. Buckner's speech, does
me great injustice, as Mr.. Bradley
had made his illusions to the ear
marks Of Gov. Knott in Gen. Buck
ner's speech at Stanford before he
came to London and before / saw
him after Gen. BIckner's speech was
delivered. JAS. w. JONES.
When it is borne in mind that Mr..
Jas. w. Jones is a republican, it
places Mr., Bradley in a very unen-
viable attitude before the public.
The attempt Of the republican press
to make it appear that Gen. Buckner
is afraid to meet Mr.. Bradley in
joint discussion falls to the ground;
as every fair minded man must see
that Gen. Buckner is perfectly justi-
fable in declining to meet a man
who, in the first place, tries to SLAM
der him, and when called to account
for it, attempts falsely to shield him.
self behind another.

Con. puckner and Mr. Bradley.
From the Courier-Journal Of the
14th inst:

From the Courier-Journal Of the
14th inst:
Gen. Buckner and Mr.. Bradley met
at Grayson, Carter county, yesterday
for the first time during the cam
paign, and Mr.. Bradley probably
regrets it. Gen. Buckner demanded
of Mr.. Bradley whether or not he
had stated in his speech at London
that Gov. Knott had written the
speech delivered by him (Buckner)
at Lexington. After some hesitancy
Mr.. Bradley replied that he had
stated at London and at Jackson that
"Jim Jones, of London, who knows
Proctor Knott well, told me that he
recognized Knott's ear-marks in
Genk Buckner's Lexington speech,
and he (Jones) believed that Knott
had written the speech. This is all
ever said, and / did not make that
statement on my own responsibility,
but upon the information furnished
me by Jones'"
Gen. Buckner, proceeding with his
speech, said: 'Now, ladies and gen.
tlemen, you see the predicament my
opponent has COTTON himself into;
he has not originated a falsehOod,
but he has willfully circulated a
falsehood, with the intention of in
juring me. Nothing could be more
humiliating to me than to have it
charged that / would purloin the
ideas of another and palm them off
upon the public as my own. For the
man who would willfully circulate
such charge, although not himself
the author of it, l can, of course, have
nothing but contempt. l denounce
the charge as UNANIMOUSLY false and
outrageous, having no shadow or
semblanee of foundation in fact. I
have invited Mr.. Bradley to meet me
at my appointments. | now with
draw the invitation, and henceforth
/ decline to have anything whatever
to do with him."
If Mr.. Bradley has any sensibility
whatever, which is doubted, he must
have felt keenly the situation in
which he found himself, skulking
behind the coat-skirts of Jim Jones
while the grand old gentleman that
they have jointly slandered was ex-
pressing the just indignation Of an
honest man.

A PRETTY GIRLS MArUT1NAL NIP
It Was Refreshing Cocktail, Through a
Straw, at Hotel Bar.
Kansas City Star, 2.


Theunusual sight ofa young, pretty
and tastily dressed woman standing
with a party Of gentlemen before the
Coates House bar, absorbing a cock
tail with a straw and Apprenticeship,
created quite sensation among the
habitues of the house this morning.
The young lady, who did not appear
at all unused to the position, was the
Senorita Guadalupe Suinago. Her
father, Senor Suinago, a tall, military
looking man, stood at her right.
while at her left, the MARQUIS de
Vivanco toyed with his tumbler of
liquor with refreshing abandon. Mr..
Leo. Stein, President of the National
Bank, of Mexico, gave evidence of
great thirst rs he raised his glass to
his lips, and his protege, Louis Gar
cia Trenil, looked bashful and amused
to strong drink.
Senor Suinago, who is a Spaniard
by birth, Is one of the largest cotton
mill owners in Mexico. The Marquis
de Vivanco, at present a sugar ref
ner, was an officer on the staff of the
late Emperor Maximillian. He rep
resents one of the few noble families
now in Mexico. Mr.. Stein, who is
evidently prosperous banker, is of
German parentage, although his life
has been spent in Mexico. The en-
tire party reached Kansas City this
morning, en- route to Chicago, Boston
and Europe. They left the City of
Mexico on Saturday last.
Tonight the distinguished visitors
leave Kansas City for Chicago.

Carbouo Acid for Indigestion.

OF late cases of indigestion have been
treated with carbolic acid, its employment
being found very satisfactory in that form
of dyspepsia known as Preventative, ac-
%companied by constant soul risings and
quotations of gas, with pains after meals
and discomfort even after drinking milk
or cocoa. 1t has proved useful in the form
of glycerine of carbolic acid; that is, one
part of crystallized carbolic acid to four
parts of glycerine, the dose being from
five to ten minims in mint water, or other
convenient vehicle. In case of much pain
of the stomach after food, it has been
found useful to add five or six minims of
the liquor opii sedativus to each dose,
and, when there is want of tone in the seat
of indigestion and bad appetite, five or ten
minims of the tincture of nux vomica have
proved serviceable. 1t is an interesting
subject of inquiry whether the carbolic
acid, in this application, acts by arresting
Preventative changes in the stomach, or
by its well known an@sthetic influence on
mucous membranes.-New Orleans Times

A novel achievement was effected in
Oregon on the Fourth, being no less than
the illumination of the snow covered
peak of Mount Hood with red FIRE. Will

five men carrying twenty pounds each
of red fire powder. Two men spent the
night ON the summit to touch off the
illuminator at 1880. 1t was plainly Wis

peak is 1920 feet high, and the party
crossed dangerous crevasses and had to
cut notches in the snow part of the way.
